We can’t imagine how fearful it would have been for the customers and staff who witnessed it in front of their eyes.

Uruguay's government declared a day of national mourning on Sunday for the deaths in Dolores, a city of 20,000 people about 250km of Montevideo. President Tabare Vazquez was expected to travel to the devastated city that day as well.
